What Is Stephen Ministry?

Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry program equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

A Stephen Minister Is:

A child of God who walks beside a person who is hurting

A congregation member with gifts for care giving, who was carefully selected to serve in this role

A lay person who has received 50 hours of training in providing emotional and spiritual care
